Strong composition-dependence on glass-forming ability in Ni–(Ti,Zr)–Si pseudo-ternary alloys

Multiple maxima in glass-forming ability in Al–Zr–Ni system

“…Coupled with our empirical experience that GFA of glass formers are strongly composition dependent [26][27][28], the predicted composition of the model could serve as a powerful shortcut to locate the real best glass former in each alloy system. Despite this reservation, the structural model did drop us a hint that for a given alloy system, depending on the occupancy of the interstitial ␥ sites, there could be more than one composition capable of amorphous formation, which are located at compositions with discrete stoichiometric ratios between the primary and secondary solutes.…”

Surface and transport properties of Ni–Ti liquid alloys

“…They are suitable as a binder phase of cermets with TiC, TiN and TiB 2 [4], or as constituents or subsystem of complex metallic glasses [5]. Together with Nibased superalloys containing Ti they are of great importance for applications where aggressive thermal and mechanical conditions are predominant.…”
